Georgetown Basketball Has Reached The Pathetic Level Of Confiscating Signs That Suggest Patrick Ewing Should Be Fired

Good God Georgetown. How do you reach James Dolan level of shit? This isn't even because of Patrick Ewing playing for the Knicks. This is coming from 'others' within the Georgetown program. You don't get to confiscate signs when you have these stats:

We're talking about Georgetown basketball here. This is a top-25 job in the country. This is arguably a top-25 program in the country (prior to this disaster). But it's still a top-25 job. You can't have this sort of shit happen and not fire Patrick Ewing. I don't care how important he is to the program. I don't care how much I love him as a Knick. He's not a successful college basketball coach. Not even close to one. He had the one miracle Big East Tournament win. Other than that?

Well he recruited James Akinjo and Mac McClung that one year. That was fun. Then they left. A ho-hum 29 game losing streak to major teams. A ho-hum 661 days since Georgetown won a game in the Big East. A conference has DePaul for crying out loud. DePaul! You can't beat them? You can't beat them once? 

Taking a sign is as pathetic as this program is right now. Fans have every right to boo, want a coach fired, etc. Don't like it, here's a suggestion. Win.

There's apparently a lower point. It's this. It's the fact everyone knows you're a joke and the only thing you can do is confiscate a sign.
